Twitter’s Digest – week ending 2009-08-22
Posted under Twitter digests by tim at 23:00 No Comments »- Enjoying the kind of afternoon that it's actually quite hard to tweet about, mainly because almost nothing is going on. Which is fine by me. #
- With Naomi at the playground, determined to make the most of this time before she starts getting into High School Musical (or whatever). #
- Wondering if you wonderful 'tweeps' are all having a Sunday afternoon nap, and whether I should be trying that myself. #
- How many 'twibbons' is it possible to assign to a Twitter avatar at once, and who holds the record for the avatar with the most additions? #
- Just back from "Harry Potter" no. 6 – they did a fine job of adapting it, but did JK approve of the part not in the novel (Burrow attack)? #
- Back to something approaching normality – at least it was a good wool off. #
- Hang on – "good wool off"? Dratted predictive text – of course, it should have read "good WEEK off". Ah, it can only get better from here. #
- Lunching, and about to send out the odd e-mail, tweet, etc. while I can. Might fit in a stroll around the block too. Wow, I'm active. #
- We're just back from some twilight blackberry-hunting – I think the bushes in our area must be a variety that ripens later than others. #
- A wonderful sunny start to the day – the more the better, if it helps the blackberries ripen… that sounds like a quote from Alan Bennett. #
- Would rather like to know how large Nokia's rumoured "Rover" 3G-enabled Internet tablet is, and if T-Mobile UK will carry it. Looks great. #
- A local musc store has (gasp) a #dulcimer in stock. Tried it; not too bad for an "Ozark", and definitely better than nothing (the usual). #
- OH: "Daddy, I made the soap all soapy…" (I think she was referring to a liquid soap bottle.) #
- Did some more recording on a track for our Christmas (!) CD project last night. Want to do as much as possible now before we get too busy. #
- Wish I knew why I feel so dozy this morning – I thought I slept quite well last night. Ah well; to the day. #
- I held the chicken in the air, but my nose was too small for the deckchair. #lists (Baffled? search "Spitting Image chicken song") #
- Oh sorry – I've just 'got' the point of the #lists Twitter meme. Back in a mo'… #
- Just said goodbye to a French friend, so I can cross that off my 'adieu' list. #lists #
- "It is a folly to expect an open door to remain open forever." – Robert Fripp #quotes #
- At a "bring a book" evening with friends. Suspect I'll win the "highbrow award" of the evening (Peter Ostwald's biog of Glenn Gould). #
- "7 Reasons To Switch To Windows 7", eh? OK: (1) It's not Vista. (2) Er… (3) …that's it… oh, just install Ubuntu or get a Mac, eh?
# - Made extra-special effort to trim down the 54 RSS feeds I subscribed to in Google Reader. Now down to… er, 52. #
- Was that sleet I saw outside the window for a moment just there, or just very, very light rain which sort of floats a bit as it comes down? #
- I wonder if I'm known in the workplace, as "that guy who uses a keyboard with his mobile phone"? No-one's really asked about it before. #
- That's 3 nonsense spams I've had via my Wordpress blog's contact form in two days. If I can't reason with these dolts, can I stop them? #
- Setting off for an afternoon out with the ladies ( #
- The ladies in question being my lovely wife and daughter, naturally ( that's not the first time I've pressed "Send" in TweetS60 by mistake). #
- That's one thing I'd change in TweetS60: the right softkey is configured to "Send", where normally one would expect "Cancel" (d'oh!). #
- I can honestly say today is the first time I have ever seen a vulture sneeze. #
- In case my last tweet needs decrypting (i.e. sneezing vultures): we're at a wildlife park for the afternoon. #
